Building A Sailboat From SCRATCH | Ep.1 

Thanks for the tip! More vids are in the process

@@JackWood25 yet another person who commented before witching the video! @4:49

If you aren’t weak you don’t have to worry

Condescend much

I hate tik tok. Its a stupid time waster. Me and a mates tryna build a Go kart with a chainsaw and stupidity. The two mix well

@@mikecorleone6797 Defiances life probably revolves and devolves around tik tok

@@Rufio1975 you’re probably right 😂 homeboy probably hasn’t seen a pair since nam

It has truly been one hell of a ride.

Thank you! More Vids are in the process

Thank you!

Awesome! Love hearing other people working on boat projects. Thanks for you comment!

Rebuild the Tanzer and forget about the 40er trust me I went small-Big-smaller and now have a Montgomery 17 that has sailed Florida Keys, Lake Erie, Fl-Bahamas and I’m contemplating taking it CA-Hawaii. You will sink a ton of money into a 40’er and sail 1/4 as much as a smaller boat.

@@georgewashington7444 All fair and valid points. My eventual goal is to liveaboard, so some additional space is required. But for a vessel to sail and not live on permanently, you certainly can’t beat the 17-25 for range. I’m not in a huge hurry to upgrade though. I appreciate the comment. Fair winds.

Thank you! The next video is coming out this Saturday.

This boat isn't perfect by any means but I've learned a lot along the way. Thanks for your comment.

Thank you!

Blah blah bla

Merci!

It's very much not (knot? :) ), but if it's for a fun learning experience, is glassed and epoxied, carefully maintained between outings, and doesn't spend too much time in the weather, it should last for a few years of fun... long enough to either get bored with the hobby, or to get a taste for what better to do for his next boat :)

I’ll make that to share the design that I’m building in the next episode.

@@JackWood25 Can you fix your audio too please?

The video is finally complete. It'll be posted with early Saturday.

indeed

Thank you! I I really appreciate it

Exactly. If I had a bigger budget, I would have definitely gone with marine grade plywood. You live and you learn.

Also depends on his final cover though. Entire fiberglass the thing, and no need to worry about the marine grade (all in all, not 100% though if you get what I’m saying)

I highly encourage that you build your own. I've deviated from the plans and have started making my own modifications. Building your own boats really gives you the freedom to do what you want.

This was an older video so my editing skills weren't the best. Currently working on it.

Great to know. Thanks for that info.

Thank for your comment. I'm working of the volume. As of right now, I've purchased a better microphone for recording voice overs so my videos in the future should be better audio wise.

Don’t be too hard on yourself. Besides he said he found the cheapest boat plans online in the beginning.

For my budget and type of boat that I wanted to build, I did find the cheapest plans. There a hundreds of free boat plans on the Internet, you just need to start searching. I didn't want to show off in the video but the calculations I made was just simple addition and subtraction. Also, I never took a woodworking class too. I just found other RU-vid videos that greatly helped. Anything is possible bro, you just have to start.

@@sudamericanrockers6616 I purchased the plans from duckworks.com. They have a ton of different sailboat designs

Regarding the sheets of plywood, I bought 14, 4 foot by 8 foot sheets of plywood. I did buy plans as well but I share all this info in a future vid.

Nice! I bought the plans over on duckworks.com. They have a ton of sailboat plans and other items.

@@JackWood25what model did you go with? Is there room to play with the dimensions?

I purchased them over on Duckworks.com.

감사합니다! 아직 완료해야 할 작업이 많이 있습니다.

Thanks for your feedback. In the next few videos, I do end up changing the blade and it made such a difference.

@@JackWood25 im gonna give you a other hint, when you do use epoxy for filling, please mix in some milled fiberglass fibers (u can take some matting and cut very fine pieces to) or microglass ballons or even normal wood sawdust, otherwise it can crack, epoxy is very strong but very brittle, like concrete without rebars. i wouldnt use plain epoxy or polyester more than 0,8mm thick without anything else in it.

So these aren't my original plans, I purchased them from a website called duckworks.com. The type of boat that I'm building is called Naut 450.

I don't agree. I built a 15 foot Ross Lillistone First Mate sailboat with Menards plywood. And I've sailed on rough water from Lake Erie to Pamlico Sound and several small lakes in between. I trust it more than a production boat because I know exactly how it was built. It's my fourth sailboat, but first homebuilt and it's definitely my favorite. I'm even considering building another, bigger boat. Just follow the plans and you'll be fine. Have fun and get ready to tell everyone how you built your own sailboat - people are always amazed by that.

@@ssuntzu Yes, I'm a professional woodworker and I have undertaken serious boat building. Building small vessels can be fun but building bigger vessels is a waste of time and money. If fact most home-building boat projects, never see the sea. The ones that do are nearly impossible to resale. Banks won't loan money on them and insurance carriers won't underwrite them (especially if they're made of wood.) You're wrong about production boats too. When it comes to safety, Production boats are typically built to be nearly unsinkable, because boat owners are typically untrained, unlicensed and inexperienced. Builders know this and must design and build fail-safe products. Modern production boats (big and little) are virtually everywhere and easy to aquire. Because they're not made of wood but fibreglass, many thousands are still around from the 1970's and even 60's and just as good now as the day they were built. In fact (if for any reason) you can't seem to sell your "classic plastic" boat, you have two options...pay thousands to have it cut-up and deposited in the landfill or give it away. (You'd be surprised how many are just given away) I acquired a 30 sailboat this way, while turing-down a 52 footer! It's always a buyers market and the variety and condition of old boats is truly endless. I currently own a 40 foot sailboat which I paid $10,000 less than the asking price for (twenty years ago.) There's always a marina boat auction happening some place. Impounded but floating vessels are sold-off every few months. For less money than what it costs to buy boat-building materials, you can sail away. RU-vid is full of folks who have done just that and are now circumnavigating the world and bragging about it. Boat-building is fun but a professionally built boat can keep you alive to have fun. The things that amateurs don't know, can and does fill books. The ocean doesn't care if you've read any of those books or if you've used the best building materials, Home Depot has to offer.

Hard disagree. Can't be a waste of time if it's a hobby and he wants to spend his time doing it! You are clearly missing the point of what he's doing. He doesn't care about resale value, insurance, or other dumb concepts adults in suits make up. Quit raining on the parade! Also regular plywood is fine if the boat will live on a trailer in a dry climate (he's in southern CA). Even if sailed overnight there won't be enough time for much water intrusion, and it will be able to dry completely between uses. Furthermore in the resale market for a homemade kit boat of this type (very small, no ballast, unfaired centerboard & rudder, low SA/D, etc) the next buyer won't really care or know about marine ply anyway. Great job! Keep filming & show us the rest of the build!

@@scottbarth9578 You're talking to a person who has been down the boatbuilding road (more than once.) It will positively be an education. It can be fun but it's never a good idea. I'll spare you my sorry tale but it only ended up being a very time-consuming and expensive experience. Is it wrong to tell somebody the truth and maybe spare them some pain?

@@jamesbaldwin7676 How can you make a blanket statement like, "it's never a good idea?" Nothing would ever be built if that were true. I completely understand that people have different priorities, budgets, aptitudes, and amounts of free time. I agree that for the average person who wants to get out on the water, building a boat is a horrendous idea. However, he is already wrist deep in epoxy. Saying "don't do it" isn't going to spare him any pain. Would you have listened to your own advice the first time, and at that age?

I do. If you check out this link, it'll take you directly to the plans that I used. I did have to pay for them but if you look around, they have some pretty cool free boat plans. Link: duckworks.com/naut450-cutter-450-plans/

I will post a video regained all of the specifications.

So I actually purchased the plans from Duckworks.com. I love this website and they have a ton of different boat designs and plans to buy.

I bought the plans from duckworks.com. The boat that I'm building is called the Naut 450.

​@@JackWood25Good job brother

I think I have. I made this a while ago and my edition skills weren't the best. Hopefully they're better now.

Hấp dẫn. Tôi chưa bao giờ nghe nói đến tấm nhựa ppc. Nghe có vẻ là một vật liệu thay thế tốt.

The plans will be shared in the next video which is coming out this Saturday.

The plans for this boat aren't my original plans. If you want to purchase them, you can visit duckworks.com and find them there. The type of boat that I'm building is called the Naut 450.

I know. This video isn't the best editing wise. I've been trying to work on my editing skills. I now have a better editing software which should help with it.

I know sorry. I filmed and edited this video on my phone and at the time, my editing skills were not the best.

Vielen Dank für Ihren Kommentar. Als ich mit diesem Projekt begann, habe ich nicht genug recherchiert. Die Bauqualität des Bootes ist keineswegs die beste, aber ich habe auf dem Weg viel gelernt. Hoffentlich wird der nächste, den ich baue, viel besser sein.

@@JackWood25 richtig. auch hierbei ist ja der weg, also d konstruktion wichtig,,,als lernprozess. zur zeit hänge ich mit meinem hausbootbau fest,,,wenig zeit, wenig geld und niemand da der helfen möchte...liebe grüsse : jürgen

Yes! I have a few but I'm working on more

Pretty much, yeah. This is a home depot boat build.

I know. My editing for this videos isn't the best. I'm trying to get better.

I know that my voice is too quite. I don’t have a professional microphone for recording voice overs but I’ve figured out a solution for the next video.

@@JackWood25 Ok thanks for the reply; you’re a good orator and good at making it interesting and good at describing. So just try to keep closer to your mic to capture your consonants and really don’t be that concerned about modulating the volume up and down.

Sorry about that. This video isn't the best editing wise. I'm trying to improve this.

It has been reinforced with epoxy resin and fiberglass.

Don’t worry. In the next few videos I seal all the seams on the interior with fiberglass strips and fully seal the exterior of the boat with 2 layers of fiberglass. The wood is just to get a sturdy frame.

So the plans aren't mine. I purchased them from a website. If you're interested in them though, here's a link: duckworks.com/naut450-cutter-450-plans/

If it's a bad move then don't watch it.

Yup.

I know, but I didn't have enough at the time. Regular sheet plywood was the cheapest for me so I went with it. In the future, I'm planning on build a dinghy for the sailboat so I'll use marine grade plywood then.

I’m sorry but I don’t really understand your comment

@@JackWood25 In simple terms then, the music you use is shit. Does that explain it?

I mean that harsh isn't needed but I feel you. Indeed the music volume is way too high and it's much too present (like that whistle flute synth and the brass/trumpets) just keep the music on the level you dim it to when narrating, and make the narration as loud as the music was now

Merci beaucoup!

Why?

With a quick internet search, it is clear that the hull is not flat... it is curved with a double chine.
